    But when Bolsonaro and his abhorrent views are widely known then Lucas deserves to be judged for supporting him.

    Bolsonaro has said many things that most of us would consider unacceptable including sexism, homophobic slurs and racist language too.

    < Judge not, lest ye be judged >

    And life has taught me that those who are very quick
    to jump to the judgement of others, in turn find
    themselves on the receiving end far faster + in
    ways they are too arrogant/stupid to have considered ...

    I have no doubt the Piers Morgan's of this world will call this melodramatic, but to me it is a frighteningly honest, heartfelt piece that shines a very harsh light on the Royal Family and the inherently racist tabloid media scumbags.

    I am sure you are not surprised by the way this strange family are portrayed. Essentially they are as trapped in the system as the population of the UK. Millions of people have and are suffering from discrimination the difference is that this couple are wealthy enough do do something about it. But it's interesting isn't it that the abnormal life the Royals lead can only be lived by essentially becoming abnormal.

    "This Labour supporter, Labour member, maybe even Labour councillor, who knows?"
    You certainly don't, you utter ****ing snowflake.
    Someone reported you for breaking the rules and you're crying on social media. Bellend.

    Id usually agree about judging people, but with Bolsonaro, it’s obvious he’s a crackpot and holds unacceptable views on a variety of things.

    So for Lucas to openly support him will always leave Lucas open for criticism

    Everyone judges people all the time.
    People are entitled to their opinion on anything and everything.
    People are also entitled to their opinion of those opinions.

    This is all getting a bit political, though.
    It would probably be best if any more discussion on the matter was in that thread.
    I'd shift it myself, but the option seems to have disappeared.

    Oh dear - that poor little rich boy. The tabloid media don't like his actress wife and she doesn't get on too well with her in-laws (how unusual is that?) - nor her own family it may seem.

    I don't think that Sunak lost because of racism.
    He committed the ultimate Tory crime of backstabbing Dear Leader.
    Lots of loyalist Boris worshippers in the Conservative Party membership.
    Also makes him look rather disloyal, especially with the timing of Javid's resignation.

    This, however, is almost certainly racism.
    Pretty laughable that he's suggesting leaving if you don't like the political system in the UK.
    He's a member of Reform UK, FFS. It's literally what they're supposed to be about.

    When a rich man complains about the country, he’s called a patriot.

    When a PoC does the same thing, they’re told to leave if they don’t like it.

    I still think William should be King.Charles is a twit for one thing.The other is he could at his age have a coronation one day and drop dead the next! That's a lot of money lost and they would have to do it again with William!?
